Just some added info for you non dualie types;
PCI-X has been around a LONG time.
Intent was to get higher speeds than the normal 33-PCI slot so technically it can handle up to 266MB/sec if my memory is correct while the smaller one can handle up to 133mb/sec
But is it backwards compatitable with 33-PCI ?Quote:

Also, it is the 32 bits PCI-X slot that can handle 266MB/sec since it runs not at 33Mhz but at 66Mhz, but the 64 bits version can handle up to 1GB/sec ;). It runs at 66Mhz (532 MB/sec) and 133Mhz (1064MB/sec).
Will the Sammy boards work with a 4pin EPS connecter

It does, if you push the 4 pin in the middle of the 8pin connector. Square peg round hole deal but it does work.... Maybe not recommended but seeing as each CPU only pulls <30W anyway... :shrug:Quote:

So I truly believe the Sossaman is a nice golden gem-but from my recent ebay alert there is someone out there who feel's these are utterly spectacular:eek:. So here is a set of SL9HN and another set of the SL8WT. The listing for these is Buy it now $499.00- guess it is good to start high right:rofl:
I'd offer him 100$ for a pair :D

1.66 and 2.0Ghz chips are common, 2.13 is rare, 2.33 is close to non-existant. Clock for clock they're comparable to a Q6600.Quote:

You can't overclock sammy.

My q6600 is at stock (OMG *GASP*) atm anyways due to heat. and this msi board being very picky. :p:
(eh I'll be getting it back up to speed when i decide to put my 780i back in)
Still has 400MHz clock advantage even at stock.Quote:

Rebooted and all it fine. try that on any other cpu. :p:
no money for a case, so i copy sparky.

That sure is a purdy box there Bali_w! :D
Bail what book is that on the bottom of the cruncher?
:rofl: nice! :up:
Physics book, haha. i don't want the box on the floor because of dust.
My sammy is not even in a case. Got it stuck behind my computer desk. It runs cool and steady. Only time I have to fool with it is when the power goes out.
http://cgi.ebay.com/4-Pin-Male-to-EP...d=p3286.c0.m14
I tried the that 8 pin converter cable with my sammy and it wont start up. :confused:
Did i bought the wrong cable?
Not start up as in not POST or not even power on?
I'd check to be sure the 12V wires are on the right side.
Does not even power on at all.
Edit: i figured there is a problem with the 8 pin wiring so i moved to the correct order.
so now i get 5v 12v 12v 5v but still cant get the system boot up
edit: nvm, i figured what i need to do. i need to fix the 4 pin wiring now to get it 12v 12v 12v 12v. Time to do some soldering.
Edit: everything is working now :D
Interested in a sammy rig? 150 + shipping.

With an 80+ unit I could see it pulling 200W or perhaps a tad less from the wall.
Your psu is >70% efficient.Quote:

My sossaman pulls 88w from the wall (with a PC power & cooling 370w).
You should be below 200w with an 80+ efficient PSU.
Anyone tried windows 7 on a sammy yet? I am thinking about it. That would have all my farm on windows 7.
Arise great thread! Back to the first page!

You'll notice a few posts back that Movieman and I scored a bunch of the RAM on eBay. I think your best bet is to find people unloading them on eBay since even if you do find them retail, they will be grossly overpriced.Quote:

Dont get me wrong.. she still runs fine... i just need more power.
Lack of 64 bit, and more expansion slots is whats the main limiting factor on sammy.
My plans are to probably donate sammy or migrate her down to someone.
Lind will take all of sammy's drives.. 6 + another Nas i had 5.
I plan on finally using my ARC-1680ix controller which has been sitting for about a year gathering dust.
(learned you dont mess with OVERCLOCK while on a SAS controller, or face drive spin load up time for each BSOD's).
So Lind a 3.070 dual gainestown system will be born on top of sammy's ashes to replace her perminently.
If i need something more then 16 threads.. i think i'll shoot myself.. im having a hard enough time filling up 12 on Nadeshiko besides Boinc..
Oh wait.. ignore that last line.. u guys arent suposed to know that.. :wasntme:
^and i've always wanted a sammy :D
I hear ya. That was the bane of my existence when overclocking my last rig. After the first night the "Booting the controller kernel... / | \ - / | \ - / | \ - /" message was permanently burned into my mind.Quote:

I have a 450W Corsair PSU with an 8 pin eps connection. DDR2-400 and 2x2GHz Sossas.
I plug in the power and there are lights on the board after the staus lights go blue then green and the 2 CPU lights stay orange. The light near the EPS plug is also green. any ideas? What have I missed?
I'm following the layout from page 123 of the manual to connect a normal start switch. But no go?
the RAM is ECC+REG right?Quote:

I'm assuming you need the motherboard running to flash the latest bios.
It should still boot with the older bios and those CPUs, just throw weird bios errors. That's how mine behaved.
What do the POST LEDs show? They're the ones between the ethernet and video/com ports (per page 5 of the manual).
I swear if he has the same LEDs light up like mine, then it wasnt/isnt my mod that 'killed' the mobo :yepp: :DQuote:
